Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 27, 2006 / Notices 56483 

asked whether product-specific 

information would be kept confidential, 

and what role a manufacturer would 

have in such a Forum. 

In the first Federal Register notice, 71 

FR 25570, the Commission explained in 

detail how information would be 

collected through the Forum. Any 

individual at least 18 years old who has 

access to the Internet and to e-mail may 

voluntarily register to participate in the 

Forum through the CPSC Web site. 

During the registration process, 

participants will be asked to provide an 

e-mail address and personal password 

to access the Forum. When a new 

question is posted in the Forum, 

registered participants may be invited 

via e-mail to log into the Forum and to 

provide responses to the posted 

question(s). Since the purpose of the 

Forum is to solicit consumer opinions 

and perceptions, the staff will not verify 

the responses provided by participants. 

Although questions related to certain 

product classes or categories might be 

posted in the Forum, staff does not 

intend to pose questions that are 

specific to a particular brand or model 

of product. Such information, however, 

may be received inadvertently through 

the Forum even if it is not solicited. To 

the extent that any information is 

obtained that could identify a specific 

product brand or model, such 

information will be kept confidential 

and will not be released. 

The information collected via the 

Forum will help Commission staff 

evaluate consumer products and 

product use by providing insight and 

information into consumer perceptions 

and usage patterns. Such information 

may also assist the staff in its efforts to 

support voluntary standards activities, 

and help the staff identify areas 

regarding consumer safety issues that 

need additional research. In addition, 

based on the information obtained, the 

staff may be able to provide safety 

information to the public that is easier 

to read and is more readily understood 

by a wider range of consumers. The 

Forum may also be used to solicit 

consumer opinions and feedback 

regarding the effectiveness of product 

recall communications and to determine 

what action is being taken by consumers 

in response to such communications 

and why. This may aid in tailoring 

future recall activities to increase the 

success of those activities. If this 

information is not collected, the 

Commission would not have available 

useful information regarding consumer 

experiences, opinions, and perceptions 

related to specific product use, which 

the Commission relies on in its ongoing 

efforts to improve the safety of 

consumer products on behalf of 

consumers.
